"Bamboo is easily the best plant to grow if you want to enhance your garden's privacy. It's beautiful, most varieties are evergreen, and it grows tall very fast."

"Hi Pete
Most prefabricated arbours and trellis will do the job technically speaking, only depending on your environmental conditions like extreme wind and rain, extreme temperatures, and proximity to high sources of pollution and salty sea air. In most residential gardens, the main consideration is that in the spacing between the wooden battens that make up the arbour or trellis, there is a balance between: A) smaller arbour or trellis hole size for privacy and B) larger arbour or trellis hole size for wind pass through, to avoid shearing wind damage.
